I love these cute little mugs that will go nicely with the Iris folds of cats, dogs, hedgehogs and other animals (approx 3") that hold their paws out, offering to "share a cuppa" or "dish the tea" that I usually make. They might be a little large for the gnomes, but that makes it funnier, I think. They cut nicely, cleanly and easily out of both my 67 lb card stock and 110 index weight. Because of the variety of shapes and nice small size, they look good with the box-card base I got, as well.
